I DO NOT OWN GLEE OR THE CHARCTERS (except for Olivia and Jake).
Finn was playing the latest video game when he got a call from Quinn wanting to talk. It sounded important so he paused his game and grabbed his keys. He was almost out the door when Kurt saw him.
"Hey Finn, where are you going?"
Finn turned and said,
"Quinn called me and wanted to talk. I think I know what it is about too," Finn said with a smile.
Kurt was confused. Finn knew Quinn had feelings for Rachel?
"Oh yeah Finn. What does she want to talk about?"
"Well she said it was important and concerned me so it seems pretty obvious."
Kurt was not sure how to feel. Was Finn more observant then he was?
"Obviously, she is ready to have sex."
Or not. Kurt sighed.
"Look Finn, I don't think that is it. Just know that she loves you."
Finn frowned.
"What do you mean?"
Kurt shook his head.
"Just go talk to your girlfriend."
And the next think Kurt knew Finn was out the door. Kurt rolled his eyes and entered the kitchen to get something to eat when his phone ringed. He did not recognize the number but decided to answer.
"Hello."
There was a woman on the other line.
"Hello, is this Kurt?"
Kurt responded.
"Yes it is. May I ask who this is?"
"Oh, I'm sorry, this is Melinda Anderson, Blaine's mom."
"Oh, Mrs. Anderson, what can I help you with?"
Kurt herd her start to cry a little.
"It's Blaine."
Kurt paniced.
"Is he hurt? In the hospital?"
"Oh no, Kurt calm down he is fine. I just I just need help."
Kurt's interest peaked.
"What can I do?"
Puck was lying on his bed trying to think of ways to woo Kurt when there was a knock on the door. He figured it was either Quinn or one of the girls from glee wanting to help or Finn or one the boys to play football or video games. He got up and answered the door. The person behind the door was one of the last person he was expecting to see.
"What are you doing here?"
Finn was humming to himself when he pulled into the driveway to the Fabray household. He had heard that Russell left but was not sure why. He knocked on the door and Quinn let him in. She brought him into the living room and they sat on the couch.
"So where is your mom," Finn asked.
Quinn sighed.
"My sister and husband are moving nearby so my mom took them for a drive to see what houses were for sale before they called a realtor."
"Frannie seemed really nice. That's great that your sister will be here."
Quinn nodded. This is why this conversation was going to be so hard. Finn was so kind to her and she really did love him.
"We umm, we need to talk."
"Yeah you said that on the phone, but I think I know what it is about."
Quinn was flustered.
'What? How can he know,' she thought.
Finn leaned and put his arm around Quinn.
"It's okay to be nervous but you should be comfortable."
"Okay," Quinn said hesitantly.
"I think it is the proper time for this."
Quinn's head was spinning so she stood up.
"Finn what are you talking about?"
Now Finn was confused.
"The reason I'm here. It's okay Quinn I figured it out. You are ready to have sex with me," Finn was smiling again.
"WHAT," Quinn yelled, "No, Finn this is not about sex."
Quinn tried not to get too mad, he was a teenage boy by the way.
"Look Finn this is going to be hard enough just please sit down."
Finn obeyed and got worried when Quinn started to tear up.
"You were my first boyfriend, my first love, and you will always be special to me Finn and I don't know how to say this."
Finn held her close.
"Just say whatever it is."
Quinn took a deep breath and look Finn straight in the eyes.
"Finn, we need to break up."
Kurt was a little uncomfortable. He was over at the Anderson house when Blaine was at a weekend Warbler rehearsal and his dad was at work. That just left him and his mom. They were sitting in the living room drinking tea.
"Thank you for coming over today Kurt. I just did not know what else to do."
Kurt set his cup down.
"It was no problem Mrs. Anderson. Blaine is a good friend so if I can help in anyway just let me know."
Melinda hesitated.
"Well the thing is that my husband was less than enthusiastic when Blaine came out. He tried to convince himself it was a phase. Things have been tense between the two of them ever since. However, a few month ago Blaine seemed happier. I figured maybe he did meet a boy that made him happy. I did not ask because I want Blaine to talk to me when he wants to. However something in Blaine has changed in these last few weeks."
Kurt sat a little closer to Malinda. Kurt had not seen Blaine in a while and did not know what was going on.
"What do you mean something changed?"
"Well, he stopped all singing at home. He used to sing or hum to himself all the time. It was quite a sight and, actually, quite relaxing but he does not do it anymore. He has almost completely closed off from me and his father. We go to hug him or something and he flinches away. He says it is just due to stress but it is clear there are other factors."
Kurt could not believe this. He had to talk to Blaine and get to the bottom of this.
"Don't worry Mrs. Anderson. I will talk to Blaine and try to figure out what is going on."
"Thank you Kurt. Blaine should be back from wherever he went soon for dinner. You are welcome to stay for dinner if you want."
Kurt nodded.
"That sounds nice. Just let me call my dad and let him know so he does not worry."
"Of course," Malinda said before heading into the kitchen to start cooking.
Kurt took out his phone and called his dad.
"Hey Dad, I just wanted you to know I will be having dinner at Blaine's tonight."
He waited for his dad to respond before talking again.
"Yes, Dad, I understand I have to be home tonight, I will probably be home around 9 or 10. I love you too. Bye."
Kurt hung up and went to see if Blaine's mom needed any help.
"Mrs. Anderson, do you need any help?"
"Oh no Kurt. I'm fine. You are welcome to just hang around for a little bit if you want."
Kurt nodded.
"Would it be alright if I went into Blaine's room and grabbed a movie to watch," Kurt asked.
"That's fine Kurt. Make yourself at home."
Kurt thanked her and headed up the stairs towards Blaine's bedroom.
Puck did not know what was going on. He turned around and faced his visitor who was sitting on the couch.
"So what exactly are you doing here?"
The girl straightened out her cheerleading skirt.
"Well I want to help."
Puck raised an eyebrow.
"No really Olivia what are you doing?"
The strawberry blonde Cheerio looked up.
"Really Puck, I want to help you."
"With what?"
"Getting Kurt back."
Puck was confused again.
"But we didn't break up. He just wants some space."
Olivia smirked.
"Yes, and I know that your plan is to try to impress him so he does not leave you."
Puck blushed.
"How do you know that?"
"Kurt told Quinn, who told Santana who was talking to Brittany in the hallway and I overheard."
Puck was still apprehensive of accepting her help.
"So, Olivia, you really want to help. No ulterior motive?"
Olivia shook her head.
"I promise. I want to help. We used to be friends and I realize that I want us to be friends again. I know that there is no way we will be together and that you love Kurt and he makes you happy so I truly just want to help. We were such good friends for a long time and after talking to someone I realize I just want to be your friend again."
Puck looked Olivia up and down. She seemed to be sincere and they had been good friends until last year when they drifted apart.
"Fine. But the first time I feel like you are just doing this to make fun of me or Kurt you are out."
Olivia nodded.
"I understand. I want to help. I have recently had a conversation with someone who had opened my eyes. So what is your plan to impress Kurt?"
Puck light up when she said Kurt's name.
"I am going to sing to him."
"No."
Puck turned to face Olivia.
"What? WHY?"
Olivia sighed.
"Puck you already did that and Kurt is expecting that. You need to really wow him."
Puck frowned. He remembered when he serenaded Kurt in glee. That's why he wanted to do it again—he knew Kurt liked it.
"Well missy, what do you suggest?"
Olivia smiled. Not smirked or grinned or fake smiled but smiled a true smile.
"I have a few ideas. But we need to come up with a plan."
"A plan?"
"Yes Puck, a plan."
Finn was beyond confused.
"What?"
Quinn was crying.
"I am so sorry Finn. I do care about you. I just feel that we were not meant to be."
"But why Quinn. I love you—I thought you loved me too."
"I do love you Finn. I just don't feel like I am in love with you. Not the way I should be."
"Why. Give me one other reason, a real reason, that we should not be together. Is there someone else? I will fight for you Quinn, I will fight for us."
Quinn cried harder. Finn really loved her and she did care for him but it was not fair to keep Finn in a relationship that was just not meant to last. Quinn had to let him go so they could both be happy.
Kurt entered Blaine's room. He had been here before. However, he might have told a little lie. He actually wanted permission into Blaine's room to snoop around. He first went to the dresser. He saw various framed pictures. Some of Blaine by himself, other with him and the warblers and even a couple of him and Jake. He looked happy. Kurt felt bad going through some of Blaine's things but he had been worried about his friend and now he knew something was going on after talking to his mom.
Kurt started to look around some more. He found some sheet music, movies, school work and other things found in a typical room—nothing out of the ordinary. Kurt sighed and sat on the bed. He looked in the nightstand by the bed and saw a photo album. He picked it up and flipped through it. There were pictures from when Blaine was a kid. Blaine was an adorable kid. There were pictures of him being a kid, playing in the backyard, some pictures with his parents along with friends. Kurt was so distracted by the pictures he did not hear the door open until he heard Blaine's voice.
"What are you doing!"
Kurt's head snapped up.
"Blaine, I-"
Blaine snatched the photo album from him.
"I asked what you were doing," Blaine demanded.
Kurt had never seen Blaine this mad.
"I'm sorry Blaine. Your mom said I could come in here-"
"Did she say you could go through my things."
"I-I-I'm sorry Blaine."
When Kurt started to tear up Blaine eased up putting the photo album back on the nightstand.
"No, I'm sorry Kurt. My day has been crap and I should have taken it out on you."
Kurt watched as Blaine sat next to him.
"My mom said you were staying for dinner. I'm glad," Blaine smiled which caused Kurt to smile.
Blaine's dad had to work late so it was just Blaine, Kurt and Melinda at dinner. Once dinner was over Blaine and Kurt hung out in the living room while Melinda went to do some laundry.
"So how have you been Blaine?"
"Good and busy I have lots of school work plus Warbler practice and spending time with Jake."
Kurt did not know how to approach the topic of his friends boyfriend.
"How are things with Jake?"
Blaine was silent for a little bit.
"Good."
"Is that the truth?"
"Of course Kurt," Blaine said.
Kurt observed his friend. He had dark circles under his eyes from lack of sleep and he looked weak.
"Okay, look Blaine, the real reason I am here is because your mom and I are worried. Something is going on and I would bet anything that it has to do with Jake. Your mom said you flinch whenever she or your dad tries to get close and you are pushing them out of your life. This is not healthy Blaine," Kurt could see Blaine was getting angry.
"You take care of your relationship and I'll take care of mine."
"Blaine, I was here when Jake saw us in your room. I know Jake abuses you—at least emotionally and maybe verbally."
"He does not."
Kurt was getting frustrated. Why was Blaine defending this jerk.
"Does Jake hit you Blaine?"
Kurt saw Blaine's eyes turn cold. Something was happening to Blaine—something bad and Kurt had to try to stop it.
"I think it is time for you to leave," Blaine said getting up and heading to the door. Seeing that he had worn his welcome Kurt followed.
"I'm sorry Blaine. I never-"
"Just leave."
Kurt hugged Blaine.
"I'm here for you anytime. Just give me a call."
Blaine simply said,
"Goodbye Kurt."
Kurt just let go and walked away. He got into his Navigator and drove home.
It was a very sad night in the Hudson-Hummel household. Finn was moaning about his break-up with Quinn. Kurt knew this would happen but it did not make it an easier. This was his brother and best friend—who was he supposed to "side" with?
"We were so perfect together," Finn said.
"I know Finn," Carole told her son as the family of four sat in the living room, "I'm sure this is hard on Quinn too, but if she feels this is best there must be a reason. You know she wouldn't set out to hurt you."
Burt was sitting next to Kurt.
"Hey Kiddo, how did it go at Blaine's."
Kurt sighed.
"Not good Dad. Something is going on and it is destroying Blaine and he will not talk to me about it. I just do not know what to do."
Burt pats Kurt on the back.
"Don't worry Kurt. You always find a way to fix things."
Later that night Kurt decided he was going to find Jake the next day and have a little talk with him. He had given this guy way to many chances but now he was destroying his friend's life and Kurt would not let it continue.
